If you're still experiencing this problem please download WinMTR and run it with eu.login.pathofexile.com in the "Host" box for at least 100 pings and post the results here. Alternatively you could also open a command prompt and run tracert eu.login.pathofexile.com and post the results of that - but the WinMTR output is more useful.

I think it is connected to what I see - all my instances are clearly hosted on American gateway, even though I selected European gateway. This was happening the whole Saturday evening (CET) for me.

Pinging EU.login.pathofexile.com got me almost EXACTLY the same value as pinging US.login.pathofexile.com while this is happening, also every new instance I am trying to create says "America" in the server column.

Definitely seem to be an ISP tracing problem to me. It disappeared on Sunday, but seem to reappear today
